Depends on you, really. If you want to take the effort to update to the
new version, despite there being little change, that would be good, but
it sounds like there will be more new versions out in not that long, so
waiting wouldn't hurt either.
There was an unanswered request for a new clamav on the main list a week
ago. If you aren't waiting for something upstream for that, that may
be a better use of your time.

If someone manages to get libwin32 installed via CPAN, they probably
know what they are doing. I wouldn't worry about it.
